Subject: Re: Forever Knight Playlist
I made a playlist for my iPod I listen to quite frequently. My playlist has an
emphasis on Nick, LaCroix, and their relationship and arguments.
1. Track 69 by Tool (the hidden track from their "Undertow" album)
2. Blacken the Cursed Sun by Lamb of God
3. Pet by A Perfect Circle
4. Bound and Tied by Creed
5. Forest by System of a Down
6. Between Angels and Insects by Papa Roach
7. The Same by Nonpoint
8. Giving In by Adema
9. The Noose by A Perfect Circle
10. The Great Below by Nine Inch Nails
11. Eclipsed by Evans Blue (the perfect song for Fleur/LaCroix, IMO)
12. Who Wants to Live Forever by Queen
13. Saving Us by Serj Tankian
14. The Spirit Carries On by Dream Theater

Subject: play list
I always enjoyed the music at the Raven, and some of the weird stuff
they played at other times. But my own collection was pretty 70s and
early 80s, when I went into more generic new agey background music and a
very pop diet from the CHUM-FM playlists ("All I Need is a Miracle" is
the kind of thing I mean -- I won a leather jacket to that one, and have
a soft spot for it because of that). I guess Leonard Cohen "Everybody
Knows" reminds me of the cynical Lacroix, and, rather than "Hallelujah"
(which is uplifting while still being pretty darn kinky) I would go for
"Who by Fire?" for the more religious Nick. For non-Cohen stuff (which
I realize is difficult to conceive of for me at times) I would go for
some 70s Al Stewart -- "Roads to Moscow" and the lovely early 80s
"Constantinople". I can see the attraction of Meatloaf, but I think for
either Nick or Lacroix the naked need would be impossible for either of
them to express, so he wouldn't make my list. Perhaps some John Stewart
(not that one, but the Kingston Trio one!) "Gold" and Warren Zevon "I'll
Sleep When I'm Dead" would do for the more driving nighttime beat.
Another question -- does Nick ever get nostalgic for past popular music,
or does he do like I imagine Lacroix has, and invent his "tastes" every
time he makes another move?

Subject: CD on Hallmark Movie Channel?
Did anyone catch CD the other night in the latest "Good Witch"
TV-movie series (starring Catherine Bell)? She was playing the
mayor's wife and (according to Comcast's info) would-be event planner.
We found it somewhere in the middle and tried watching it for a bit
(Frank's a bit of a Catherine Bell fan from her JAG days), but had to
turn it off because it was way too painful (script was inane and
acting was -- probably due to the direction, not the actors -- WAY
over-the-top). Also painful was the reflection that time has
continued on for all of us. I'm pretty sure CD is a year or two
younger than I am, and the character was in a believeable age range
for a mayor's wife, but the characterization made me think of a woman
ten, fifteen years *older* than me, and two generations back in time
(i.e., my grandmother and her cronies). Though if I stop to think
about it, we (CD, me, and others within a few years of our ages) are
now *in* that same age bracket...
I'm almost wondering if the "never-grows-old(er)" aspect of the
vampire is taken from the part of our psyches that refuses to believe
that our bodies (and maybe, our places in society) are ten, 20, 30
years or more older than the age we think ourselves to be. (Yes -- I
expect discussion of *that* idea will probably have to continue offlist.)

I saw it. Typical Hallmark movie, really. I was a JAG fan, too, only it
was more David James Elliott than Catherine Bell for me. :) Well, that and
the romance. I've seen the other two movies in the series, and CD was once
again the busybody mayor's wife that you're supposed to hate....

Wow. I remember when Hallmark movies were something we *looked
forward to* -- the "Hallmark Hall of Fame Movie Presentation of ... "
-- usually some classic of world literature or some sort of issue
that was growing in our society but to which many adults refused to
pay attention. I remember when watching those presentations (and
almost all National Geographic Specials) was part of our public
school homework assignments.

I didn't realize it was a recurring role. As an FK Pagan, I'm always
hopeful that witches and shamans and others who don't worship G-d,
Jesus, Brahma, Buddha, or Allah are portrayed realistically in the
media. This was... why the (expletive deleted) call her a witch?
Beyond "false advertising"...

Then again, this being Diabetes Awareness Month, National Diabetes
Month, etc., my pancreatically-challenged friends and I are doing
double-duty fighting the myths and misconceptions about diabetes...
Unfortunately, too many people forget about it the other 11 months of
the year...

GWD is 6 years to the day older than I am, but to watch him perform on stage
makes me feel like I must be considerably older than my birth certificate says
I am.

Yeah. It's a trilogy. "The Good Witch", "The Good Witch's Garden", and
whatever the last movie was called. It doesn't go into religion, though.
It's just an established fact of the trilogy that CB's character is a
witch. The first movie, "The Good Witch", IIRC, had CD's character trying
to make CB's character leave town.

I was a teenager during the first airing of FK... and it was past my bedtime
to watch it! I became a master of the art of putting off homework long
enough to watch FK. Since I had class at 6am, I had an early bedtime,
too...
